TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA' STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. E NCOURAGED . by the Assurance of Sup. port from many of my Friends, I presume to announce Illy intention of becoming a Candidate for a Seat in the Direc tion of your Malts, when the prescribed period of my residence In Europe, which will be completed in March, 1827, shall have rendered -me qualified. 1 trust that my pretensions to this honour will not be thought presumptuous, founded as they are upon an intimate knowledge of your Alilitary Establishments, and the habits and feelings of your Nntive Troops and Popula. tion, acquired during a long and active course of employment in various parts of your possessions. To these services I owe the recorded approbation of the Governments of India, and thence the distinction conferred upon me by my Sovereign; and if it be my good fortune to obtain your confidence, I shall gratefully devote myself to the advancement of all your interests. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most humble Servant, JAMES LAW LUSHINGTON. :13, York-street, Portman-square, March 13. NORTHUMBERLAND. BROTHER FREEHOLDERS OF NORTHUMBERLAND, Trim .Election is now closed, and while it was -"L contesting by two Candidates, other two were canvassing the County for the General Election. Mr. Liddell declared to you on the hustings, on taking his leave, that he would not again oiler himself as a candidate : this filled my heart with sorrow, as well as that of many a friend to the welfare of • the County. But the respect you paid to Mr. Liddell on his leaving Alnwick, and the touching address of Mr: Burrell, of Broome Park, drew from Mr. Liddell a declaration, that if ever he were called upon by the County, he would obey , the call. The same feeling accompanied Mr. Liddell's. return through Morpeth and Newcastle, which so conspicuously dis played itself at Alnwick, where the merits of the two Candi,.. dates became best known by their respective addresses. Ani mated by the hope that Dlr. Liddell may yet be your Representa tive,- and to receive a repetition of his declaration after he had consulted his friends on his return home, I waited upon him this morning, and he gave me his word, " that should he be elect ed by the freeholders of the county, lie would obey the call;." (and I need not say to those who have seen and heard him, that, perhaps, at no time, has the county of Northumberland had so able and proper a person offered to its choice as a representative In Parliament) " but that he himself would not again encoun ter the expence of a contested election." 1, theiefore, now call on you, brother freeholders, to exert your utmost efforts, not only to elect Mr. Liddell one of your representatives at the ensuing general election, but to place him so high on the poll that no one may hereafter dare to call him either &foreigner or an intruder. The few minutes I have left to conclude this address '(in order to get it into the public papers) require that I should now be brief. From experience I have learnt that, to be well served, a inan must have gratuitous services as much as possible; and make those happy who give their gratuitcnis services. Let, there fore, the late committees of Mr. Liddell again assemble and ascertain what can be done in each parish or ward within the county—l myself will canvass Haltwhistle parish. Above all things, I entreat you, brother freeholders, to reserve your votes till the respective candidates, who have offered, or may yet offer, shall be examined publicly at Alnwick, on the day . of nomination t. and after weighing each in the balance, reject those who may be found wanting in the great and important requisiteakf a Member of Parliament. Sincerely hoping you may choose the best who may offer, • I remain, brother freeholders, Your faithful servant, Ridley Hall, March 9, 1820. THOMAS BATES. - - P.S. It was the eighth day of the contester° I saw Mr. Lid. .dell : his merits were then unknown to me, the only thing I had heard of the election was the disgraceful manner in which the adherents and servants of his adversary had conducted themselves. A worse than Judas had betrayed him, and I much fear an Achan has been in the camp, or the cause would never have been lost. When the ark was to be built, each .contributed what he was able. Suppose the late contest to have cost each party 30,000/., remember it was principally car. tied on by hirelings. Let it be seen what affection, properly exerted, can accomplish. But let no one despair, I could tell you of one, who would advance 30,0001. if necessary. But he wishes all the Freeholders of the county to eny the hi g h est earthly happiness he him s elf has ever known, the liberal appll cation of hard-earned money towards a good cause. The adversaries of Mr. Liddell exult in the hope of exhaust. ing his means; as well might they attempt to exhaust the Ger man ocean, which as fast as emptied would be filled by the wide Atlantic. The widow's cruise never failed. Do not be disheartened by what has happened; the triumphs of the ,Wicked are short. Had the poll been kept open to the last, the result mi;;lit have been different; but Ido not now regret it. 31any of - Mr. Liddell's friends. know- how his confidence has been misplaced. Let those who do not, read the following copy of a letter sent to him by a person who, altholigh he him self did indeed vote for Mr. Liddell, gave all his interest to 'Mr. Bell. (COPY.)

This was an indictment against Charles William Berke, Esq., and the Rex. Edward Bailee. and Charles Clarke, Esq., for a conspiracy, falsely to charge Frances Sarah Barlee, the wife of the first-named defendant, with being a lunatic, or per son of unsound mind, and to take proceedings that a commis sion' in the nature of his Majesty's Writ sic Innano inquireudo should issue against her, the defendants intending thereby, falsely anti unjustly, to obtain , from her divers :large sums of money. Thu overt acts laid were, that the defendants bad made certain affidavits in support of a petition to the Lord Chancellor, by the husband, for a commission of lunacy, stat ing that for a Ding space of time Mrs. Barlee had been lahour ing under great delusions relative to herself, her pecuniary con. cerns and connections, and was, as' the deponents verily be lieved, of unsound mind,:, and incapable of taking proper care of herself and her concerns. To this indictment the defendant C. W. liarle.e, had not pleaded. The other defendants pleaded Not Guilty. It was stated that soon after the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. 'Beam, the latter (who had a respectable fortune of her own), perceived grounds of suspicion that she had been deceived, and that an improper intercourse subsisted between her hus band and a woman who had been introduCed into their house in Vine-street. • It was also alleged that whilst living with hint Mrs: Barlee was subject to cruelty and ill-treatment, and at length she quitted his house, anti retired to the residence of her trustee, Mr. Clarke, at lleccles, a pared agreement for separation having been entered into. The husband after wards became embarrassed in his affairs, and a proposition was made to Mrs. Duke to induce her to give up part of her settled property for his benefit. This she declined. It was alleged that the husband then insisted upon the restitution of conjugal rights, and in order to obtain possession of her person inveigled her to his house in Vine -street, where he placed her under restraint. An appeal was made to the Jury upon the wrongs, the sufferings, and cruelties, practised upon Mrs. Barlee, from the hour of her marriage until the date of the present proceeding. Much stress was laid upon the severity of her confinement in Ipswich' gaol, and the deprivations to which she was then subjected; she having for a considerable portion of the time subsisted upon gaol allowance anti the charitable dona tions of her friends. During her confinement It was suggested that the trustees had offered to make her advances of money, but Under such terms as she could not with propriety accept ; and it was prey ed as a topic of great aggravation that neither of them • had once visited her in gaol, to see how she was treated, or had attempted to rescue her from the cruel imprisonment she was suffering ; at the instance of a husband whom they knew she loathed and detested. It was proposed to give decisive evi dence that she was a person of perfectly sound mind, and that the supposed aberrations of intellect breathing in all her letters and conversation, were no more than the natural expression of a deep sense of those sufferings to which she had been exposed. No filet, however, was opened to connect the defendants in a conspiracy to effect the object imputed, or, to show th a t th e trustees were in concert with the husband with any undue mo tive. One fact opened was afterwards disproved—namely, that the defendant, Mr. Edward Barite, had accompanied the hus. band to Mr. Justice Rayley'S chambers, for thepurpose of forcing Mrs. Barlee to return to her husband. The prominent circumstance relied upon as bringing the def e nd an t s now on I , trial within the scope of the indictment, was the fact of their having made affidavits in support of the husband's petition to the Chancellor,•without any just ground for believing that Mrs. Barlee was insane. After the tormal and documentary evidence necessary to sup. ,port the averments in the indictment had been • produced, the Counsel for the prosecution Proposed to examine Mrs. Barlee as a witness; whereupon it was objected by the defendant's Coon. sel, that her evidence was inadmissible, upon the general prin• cipal that the evidence of a wife cannot be received either for or against a Imsband, except in certain cases, and this, it was sumitted, was not one of the ckceptcd cases. After an argument, which lasted three hones, Mr. Baron IlAtiAat expressed a decided opinion that the wife could not ha awitneas on this issue, and therefore rejected her testimony. Several witnesses were called t o p rove t h e con d uct of Mr. Barlee towards his wife, and that he had often stated hi s o bjec t was to get . possesSion of money, in which case he would let, her do what she pleased. Some said that he would be satisfied• with 11101. a year: r Evidence was alsolidduced to prove .that.while Mrs.• Barnes was ,confided at Ipswich she appeared to be perfectly sound in -mine ; but nothing appeared to substantiate the charge of con. spiracy. Mr. Baron Gaattnat intimated his opinion to the Jury, that however blameable. the imputed conduct of Mr—Berke might be, there seemed' to be no just reason for saying that the Trus tees were influenced by the motives charged in the indictment. The question. in this ease ,was,,not whether. the Trustees formed a correct judgment to the state of Mrs. Barlee's mind, but whether they acted Lora flde, and under a firm persuasion. that she laboured under mental dcluSion, and was incapable of ma. naging her own 'affairs. ft was perfectly clear that the Trus. tees could have no personal interest in establishing a commis. sion of lunacy. Their interest, if they had any, lay the. other way ; for hail a commission issued, it was more than probable that the, Lord Chancellor would have appointed other persons as the committees; and if Mrs. B. was really of unsound.mind, it was for her benefit that her interests should be taken care of. by the Court of Chancery. Personal benefit could never have arisen to' the Trustees from the success of the proceeding; and after the high character' given of these gentlemen, it was too much to say that.they were guilty of the foul crime of con. spiracy. The'Counsel for the prosecution said, that if . thi s was t h e pression of his Lordship's mind, they certainly had no , wish to press the case any farther. They would bow to the slightest intimation coming from the Bench. At the request of the Jury, however, evidence was•called for the defence. Mr. Al MY AT T and Mr. Sergeant TADOY severally-addres sed the Jury on behalf of Mr. Clarke :and Mr. E. Bailee respec tively. They contended, in the first place, that there was not a shadow of evidence to establish the charge of conspiracy, even if their clients had an adequate motive for committing so infa mous a crime. Neither of the trustees appeared to have done any thing whatever in concert with. Mr. Barlee, the husband, • beyond sweating to the affidavits filed in support of the come/sit- Mon. But their conduct in this respect was hong fide, and in the full persuasion that they were doing the best that could be done for the interests of Mrs. Berke, whose whole deportment mns nifested that she was acting! under a delusion of the -mind, at least as repected her trustees. Mrs. Barlee's letters were full of the moat decisive indiCations of delusion, and to such n morbid extent had this delusion been carried that she fended the whole world in conspiracy against her happiness and bites: rests. It was this conduct on the part of the unhappy lady that induced her trustees to believe that? her mind was so much affected as to di, , quality her tbr the conduct of her awn The question in this case was not whethecin. fact Mrs. Bailee was insane, but whether the trustees believed her to,. be so at the time•theY swore the affidavits in support of the,pe tition to the Chancellor. Her letters bare internal evidence ofderangetnent, and it : was upon their contents, us well as the information of other persons, that the trustees came to the con.. elusion upon- which,tliey acted. The Learned Counsel corn. plainest in strong taints of the want of candour on the part of the prosecutor's Counsel,• in withholding front 'the Jury evi. dance which they knew went direetly to the exculpation of the trustees. Among the affidavits tiled in support of the Petition was that of •Alr. Stebbing, Surgetrato the Ipswich gaol, which was decisive to allow that the trustees were at least justifiable in doubtinstthe Sanity of Mrs. Bargee's mind. • The affidavit of Mr. Stebbing (since deceased), who had been surgeon to Ipswich gaol for. thirty-eight years, was then put in ansi read.: This affidavit was filed in supp ort o f t h e pet i tion to the Lord Chancellor, anti • it expressed- the d ec id e d op i nion of t h e tisporient to be, after a most attentive. observance of 31rs.

Both these witnesses were questioned by setreral of the Jurors, and they both concurred in thinking that assuming Mrs, Barlee's complaints to be well founded, still her mind was unsound. The defendant's Counsel wire proceeding te Call Many More witnesses, when Mr. Baron (unan again addressed t h e Jury, and reminded they hod t 1 • them of the question whichtry upon t record.— They were not trying an issue, whether Mrs. Barka was or 'wag not, in fact, insane at the time the Petition was, prespted. It was not incumbent on the part of the defendants to show that she wes absolutely insane. All that the defendants had to chew was, that, in the opinion of men of science and understanding upon such subjects, there was reason a bl e an d pro b a bl e ground for applying t o the Lord Chancellor for a Connitission. It was tOreign to the* present case, whether Wm. Burke was or was not, in fact, insane. The question was, whether the de , fendants had conspired and confederated together in one con certed plan_namely, to secure to themselves the custody of her person, and the division of her fortune,. mid whether that was the object o f a ll t h ree; for that \ was the gist of the charge: The hardships imposed upon - this unhappy lady by her husband were foreign to the question. The Jury must he satisfied that the object of all the defendants was to put her fiirtune into their Own pockets, and in order to effect that object, had conspired to, gether falsely to sue out a Commission of Lunacy, without any reasonable or probable cause. lir his own opinion, it appeared to him, that if such was the object of the defentlints, they had taken the most effectual step to defeat their own views, because a Commission of Lunacy would have put it completely out of their power to touch a farthing of the lady's fortune.—Uo Jury then delivered a verdict of Nut Guilty. ; .

NORTHERN CIRCUIT-LANCASTER. VISEY v. REDMAYNE AND ANpTMER MA.CitrriATE. This was an action for an assault committed by the defen4 dams in their capacity as magistrates for the County Palatine of Lancaster, on the plaintiff by the,commitment 'of her person to the prison of the House of Cartectian ftir Preatonoin a charge of Bastardy. The case excited an :extraordinary de grarl ee of interest, and the Court was filled ; to an otstrflew at an ey hour. Tee ATToI O (Mr; Scarlett) *tilted-- the case to the jury, —The plaintiff in this action was leyoung woman who had attracted the attention of - a gentleman by whom she ,had happened to have two children, and who still enjoyed his protection, whose name he would leave hiS learned friend (Mr. Sergeant Cross) to make such comments uponas he.pleased, if it could answer his purpose. Tire learned gentleman then cited the Act of the first of James, which warranted the com-. mitment to prison in cases of bastardy, for a period not exceed ing twelve months, nor for a less period than six weeks ; and the subsequent Acts of James and Elizabeth, as also that of the fiftieth George 111., chapter first, in cases of bastardy, which Act of James gave the Magistrates poiver to discharge out of custody, where it was shewn that the persons so committed had acted with prom iety subsequent to her commitment, but then this Act did not authorize Magistrates to commit, on mere suspicion. Even the great Lord Kenyon, doubted such su rogative in any case, under the Vagrant A ct. inn Ins Lord. ship cited Palmer's case to the contrary. • in this instance the warrant was illegal, and the gaoler would have beten. perfectly justified in not receiving her into his custody, no conviction having taken place. Here In the plaintiff 7 's mast an aptilica tion bad been made to the Magistrates tier her liberation, but they contained unmoved and inexorable, nor wouNiabey abate a single jot of her sentence until the Court of King's Bench had been moved 'to se t the commitment aside, and When they found that they could not help themselves, they ordered her to be discharged out of custody, and it was for this assault she now sought, at the hands of the Jury, a compensation in damages, for those wrongs she had sustained. and the pri vationa she had endured so long, and which called, tar exem. plary damages. - ,The Learned Gentleman then called witnesses to move the fact. The defendant called no witnesses, and Mr. Serge:lnt Cnoss rose and commenced his address to the Jury, by 4aimounting on the speech of his Learned Friend the Attorney-tlieneral, and ridiculing the will for exemplary damages Ice an unqualified abuse, as he called it, of an untbrunate woman. No I tiol this action was not brought by the plaintiff from her nwnalesire to vindicate her character, for she had none to lose. No, she was only the nominal party ; who was the real plaintiff it did not require much sagacity to learn ? why was ft any other than her prochain anti, her avowed protector, the gallant Colonel who had been found at the very respectable house aim tuate on St. George's-quay; he who had himself,'too, ,com mitted two women to prison under 'similar circumstances. What was the case ? Why the Magistrates had doneabcir duty, .and but for an error in judgment, the power to imprison would never have been questioned. The Jury had heard the case for the plaintiff; and a precious one it was 1 In what an amiable light had his Learned Friend's client been placed. Let the Jury look to the house where the plaintiff resided take a peer at the Colonel behind the scenee; and then add the bill of indictment with it, then what a picture had they before them. Then came the question of damages. Now what was the phatiff entitled to ask at their hands ?—nominal only, if any. The Learned Gentleman concluded at length by calling on the Jpry to give the least damages they could. Baron Hummel:. in his Charge to the Jury, seid, i tlitit it was clear that the plaintiff must recover a verdict, bin whet &Maps they would assess for the assault complained of was, pheir parti cular province ; that the warrant for her commitment to the house of correction, when no convictiOa had takiin ifface, Was clearly illegal in point of law—of this there could be bp doubt. The Imprisonment she had antrered hail been eleven weeks, and it was for this imprisonment the action hail been brought. It would he absurd, however, to attribute to there respectable gentlemen, and these magistrates too, any malice against the plaintiff: They had, in exercise of the power given them in the Act of James t., committed a clerical error, nothing more ; that they possessed the rightto commit was not doubted : there could' be no personal ill-will or malice in their sending the plaintiff to gaol; and if they believed it to be as he thought, it was a mere error in judment—then it would be hard to visit such error by awarding heavy damages, and in his opinion it Would have been far better it the plaintiff had not hreuglit her action at all—there had been a most melancholy disclosure of facts that did the plaintiff's canna nor Colonel Bradshaw any credit. the Lordship, after recapitulating the evidence, said, that the Jury woaid tal'e into their congitioration all the circum stances of the case, and give such temperate damages as the nature of the case warranted.
